How Walking Helped Me Lose Over 200 Pounds and Turn My Life Around
It began with bending down to tie my shoes. I remember one day specifically when I noticed how difficult this simple task had become: I would have to hold my breath because I was so big. I decided I couldn’t do it anymore—I had to make a change. And it was unbelievable how quickly daily walks helped me feel better.
It’s really amazing to now be able to walk with my son and my wife because it was something that when I was really big, I couldn’t do. Now that I can go for these walks, I just want to walk all the time! When I was big, my heels would hurt and I couldn’t really go too far. So when I was able to walk it became really exciting. Something so simple that most people don’t think about became so important. It almost became addicting, to be able to do simple things like walking.
Overall, it’s just very satisfying to be able to change for the better, and walking helped with so many things in my life aside from my mental and physical health, and my relationship with my family. Walking also helped me to stop drinking. It just completely changed my life. There was one walk I had with my wife when I was on my journey to becoming sober and it really helped to put things in perspective and keep me motivated to be the person I know I can be.
